The man in the mirror

We can talk about love , compassion , sympathy, humane .. call it in any name that calls for the softer side of your nature to play its role, the truth is that we can live without any of these . All that matters is how happy I have made the one in front of me . Could be with more love or less anger . And how happy the other man’s happiness makes me . If it does not  make you happy , trust me .. Just love yourself . Ultimately,

The 'one' in the mirror  should smile at you , no matter who you are . 

Your calling. . The purpose

If amidst all the tragedies you are facing now.. amidst all 'absence of love ' you are facing now.. if against all the odds you still feel Hope, thats where lies the proof that you are here for a purpose. That small flickering hope need not be the hope of  overnight transformation of your adversities into opportunities. . Your absence of love into an ocean of love. Its just that nagging yet happy feeling that makes you hear a voice from somewhere " you got miles to go sweetheart.. this ain't your journey".. thats the HOPE. Its that which makes you blind to your glaring  realities though momentarily..
And if you have it. .  Then I promise you '- you are here for a purpose - a higher purpose. Hold on.. for one more day.. Everyday.

The Grand Plan

Someday  the grand plan unfolds at some right point in life, and makes  you say "omg, that's why it happened to me !" .  That is the most beautiful moment when we smile at ourselves with complete realisation of the fallacy of the " why me" s that  have been troubling God with .. So .. stop the ' Why Me ' s There is a Grand Plan . It should unfold . The programme is meant to work, complete   its mission  and  self  annihilate without external triggers 

Metamorph !!!

Your pain is understandable .

But  Just think of the day when 

suddenly out of the dark there emerges 

the real  successful You ,

 whom others around you have never seen

comes out like a butterfly out of caterpillar , 

batting those beautiful wings and says

“SURPRISE “ to the whole world that now opts to see you with Awe…

Believe in metamorphosis !!!

Helps a lot. 

I am the Moment

What is it that we want to know about ourselves ?  Is it How permanent we are ? Is it  what will happen to us after some point in time ? Is it the unquenched thirst to  know our true REALITY ?

Let me tell you - Our TRUE reality is that WE ARE "NOW". We are the Time & space that exists at all points in  a grand weave. This moment is US. Do we need so many learnings ? Were we not happy not even chanting a hymn  but simply BE in the moment a few decades ago - playing roman rings with ropes tied to the  mango tree?  When did this all stop ? When the first FEAR struck us . The first FEAR that immobilised us. Had we not even recognised the fear , we would have won from day 1.  We succumbed to the first fear . The FEAR was that we might lose something - a person / a comfortable circumstance / thing , etc etc. And then FEAR took over . Our BEING in the moment stopped.  I have a simple explanation for Dark & Light . When FEAR rules us, Darkness takes control. When we Rule the fear, the Light takes charge. Life is as simple as that.  Fear of the unknown is what makes us go to miracle doers and seers .  I do not think we go  in our quest for true knowledge . Because , when you are truly in quest for true knowledge, it COMES to you. You do NOT have to GO to anybody. Actually " seeking" is  the disguise for our actual " seeking solution to the unknown fear".

Here are the takeaways..

Start looking at every moment as a moment of "fearlessness". Until the moment you fell   off the staircase, did  you ever have a fear that you might fall ? No - it was an accident. It was a future that you never ‘thought of’. You were in a state of 'fearlessness' of a fracture happening until the moment it happened. Now , reverse it - We are in a state of Fear of future - what might happen . It could quite NOT happen at all - the event that  you think that might happen in future . You never know about it . Be fearless about not just your thoughts, but also about anyone who thinks negatively. That might not happen also . Dont give importance to the thought. The only solution to this is to STOP all the quest and start BEing in the Moment . This MOMENT is us.. This MOMENT is the truth that you always wanted to know . Nothing Else. Be in the Moment - you will manifest all from the abundance around you.

Here is  the  next learning - GOING WITH THE FLOW - without resisting . When we master this , then there is going to be Nothing for us to resist because the current will favour us .Will it give us the Money that we want to manifest  or the   million dollar job ?  YES .. and this is the ONLY   secret to manifest . The goal - the Number - is already there in your mind. You have already written in the cosmos. When you are in the MOMENT - without resisting - your entire energy is conserved for creating your favourite reality . Because your mind has nothing BUT the million dollar job that you want.No doubts.. No fears..  And it happens .

Dont do anything because if you didnt do it , you will feel guilty . Dont do it because you want something else in return . Do because You LOVE to do it.  Don’t do that job you hate to  because your family depended on it. Do it because you LOVE to see your family happy. You will stop hating your job.

The Greatest TRUTHs are the SIMPLEST  -  Love & The Moment. Nothing more & beyond..

Is there truly nothing called death

The Fakir says " There is nothing called death".
Well.. it satisfies me to believe that there is nothing called death.. Quite gratifying from the Gods !!! It lifts me out of the abysmal fear of death.  But, wait a minute .. Am I really afraid of my death or is it the fear of what might happen to my kith and kin, the ones that love me .. my children.. what would happen to them.. To them , I would have died.. There is no way that I am going to be able to convince them that its okay to not live. It doesnt really matter to me. I would not live a single milli micro nano pepto second to see them, their agony. But dear Fakir, it matters to them because they would never see me.
So, before giving me the strength to believe that there is no death, give the strength of accedptance to the ones near me. Its not funny, to see someone mourn another's permanent absence .. you got it?
Its not funny to make a loving heart  to mourn the undeserving death of someone they loved . I hope I made my point.. As usual , waiting for your answer.

The man in the mirror

We can talk about love , compassion , sympathy, humane .. call it in any name that calls for the softer side of your nature to play its role, the truth is that we can live without any of these . All that matters is how happy I have made the one in front of me . Could be with more love or less anger . And how happy the other man’s happiness makes me . If it does not  make you happy , trust me .. Just love yourself . Ultimately,

The man in the mirror  should smile at you , no matter who you are . 

Surrender or Liberate

Decide .

Whether you want to live your life thinking that 

some eye in the sky is watching over  every thought , 

every action of yours  

OR

Just YOU who is watching .

Makes a lot of difference .

The first one leads to Surrender .

The second one leads to Liberation . 

EnLIGHTen yourself .

De 'condition' .. De 'karmify' yourself

We all came with the knowledge . Whatever we want to learn , to seek - we already know . 

We have just forgotten and keep forgetting every lifetime because we are subject to such conditioning like we are victims of bad karma , beneficiaries of good karma  etc . We are conditioned to believe that we are sinners . Please humans , we are wonderful BEings  . 

The minute we get out of our conditioning , we probably will realize our true nature and start living a guilt free life .

We are a pure speck of a grand form,  tainted by conspiracies of the powerful ,  again and again falling into the web woven by them , birth after birth . 

All we need to learn is to clean the moss around the true nature of ours  by realizing EITHER  in our true nature -  we are just the same as whom we grandify - " dhaivam  bhoothvaa Dhaivam Thyaja "  way  OR that everything is as per the grand plan and we are just executors - "Sarve dharmaan parityajya  Maamekam SharaNam Vraja "  way . Both ways , we escape the requirement of cleansing process . Being an ostrich at times makes us immune to external conditioning . 

 Life ' Live Light'  ... Live ' Light Life '

- Lessons learnt from BE ing :-) 

On Freewill

Surprisingly , this is a note that I have written about a year ago - cant remember what made me write this but definitely yes - it must have been a lesson i learnt by wrong application of my free will & ending up in a mess... Yet, it makes sense to me every moment of accomplishment & failure. Now for my thoughts....

Everything that happens to us out of our actions can be explained in the following context. Apply to all the situations you have been into - due to your actions ( It excludes situations that you get into without your intention like a fall,  accident etc etc) Its all about our  respective "spheres" and the extent of exercising our "free will" within that sphere  Problem starts when you are not conscious & aware of your respective spheres.. You identify the wrong sphere & exercise inapproppriate free will..  And we fail miserably..

So, how do you get into the right space?
  
 1. Do what makes YOU Dharmically  happy first  , your family happiness follows automatically. But remember - for an angry man, "anger" makes him happy , for a politician,  cheating makes him happy  & thats his Free Will within his mis-interpreted sphere  . Thats why I said "Dharmically"

2.  Never never get into "jealousy" and "envy" mode  . The minute you feel these, it means you have recognized your 'inferiority' . And, live to EXCEL and not to COMPETE. Jealousy & envy vanish automatically . The other man  is happy or  successful because He CHOSE to be SO & you didnt.

3.  Anger- Ideally avoid it but practically, you can get angry but before it recognises you, get OUT of it. Which means , you have a 'microsecond'  romancing with anger and thats all.

4. True enlightenment is when you go  back to reclaim what you renounced earlier ...  BUT you REACT  to the same events that made you renounce , "DIFFERENTLY" . In fact, ultimate reaction is "Non-Reaction".   Zendo helps..

Have i missed something... Yes - Never try to Understand & Interpret God - Just trust .. or choose to be an Atheist . Its eithr 0% or 100%. 

Landmine Life

Landmine Life

If a relationship cannot give that secure feeling that my next step would not be on a landmine.. its a fake relationship. There is no honesty in it.. no truth.. Its like we are cheating ourselves in the name of that "relationship" . The most successful relationships are those where each one works around the limitations of the other. Not the ASSUMED limitations.. I'm talking about the REAL limitations. This might look a little negative .. but this is a more realistic approach. We strengthen ourselves by what each other know. But what creates the first crack is an expectation surpassing the limitation of the other. Expectations get built around one's ability.. in any relationship. Limitation is the max efficiency one can perform that 'action' that he is able to do. When I say I cook well, you cannot assume me to be your personal "Nigella" . I cannot be your personal ' aishwarya rai' or ' sharukh' or even your personal 'man / woman next door' , who always appears better than me. In a husband-wife relationship, there is an acceptance of the limitations of each other , appreciation & strengthening of the specialities of each other , work within this premise - all happening in a warp of love. Do you feel this is idealistic? It just implies that you are not really HAPPY. Just introspect....

The celebration

Its your  story..

No matter whether its all pre destined or it’s a new book  ;

No matter whether you start writing it now or erasing ;

No matter if you like it now or not , 

Your story is a celebration ..

A celebration where you thank the universe for giving you the  great breath that tides over everything , a wonderful body to experience every sense, a Great Mind that remains untapped of its potential most of the times . 

The key is to call your Good as Good  and  your bad as a Good  for someone and  stay calm knowing that there is no difference .

Enjoy the celebration.

The point of No return

I believe there are no event horizons in life. ( An event horizon is a point of no return in the language of astrophysics .  Every moment you have a choice to return . To return to the world where you would be lot happier. Whether your circumstances decide your destiny or your destiny decides your circumstances, you are never at a point of no return. Your free will shall always choose a path  that gives you a point of return..

Because ..

There’s always another way. You always knew it but forget occasionally .

The Wire Walk

Inspired by "The Walk "

The threads of bonding.. Has to be cut off one by one . But It cannot happen when I am walking on the wire..the wire is  the tool. I have to cross the void and reach the other side . Once I reach, it gets cut automatically , because as I walked, as I took  the journey with non attachment, the threads go away one by one .. by themselves, from the wire that I have been walking on .. to cross. And while I am done , I am there at  the other end.. I don't see the wire , neither the void nor  the ends which  I thought  they existed . I see just myself .. The Undaunting spirit .

Ekam Satyam - 1

The greatest fallacy of love is that it is unconditional .  Being unconditional itself imposes a condition . Just love . Feel it as the touch that makes a small ripple in your heart...As the sound of a butterfly flapping its wings , sitting on your shoulder .. As even NOTHING except void . No qualitative assessments . The feeling is of million forms . But as a truth Love is love - just like a Rose is a rose is a rose .                                      RudraMaya - The Drama.. The Maya .

Journey of thousand miles

A journey of  a thousand miles begins with that one Step.
The one step that I take right now. It starts Here.. in your mind. Starts as a tiny spark.
It starts Now.. Right now .. this Moment that would redefine your life. This moment that would write a new beginning , to create a new ending.
Right now, as you are reading this ,  with your current reality threatening to bring an ordinary end to your life ,  your unquenched thirst to succeed pushing you to take one last step .. your journey starts.
In search of a new you , a You whom you lost long back, a You whom you dreamt of yesterday .. A you who is Truly you.
Start Right Now.. It isn't far away..

Lost Symphony

We have been playing  

just the perfect symphony of  life 

until the day our first Fear struck us .

The  notes go out of pitch .. 

you try to play it differently .. 

Notes change ..

Music changes ..

And here you are 

Looking for that lost symphony..

Well, It isn’t too late to start a new one 

Fearlessly. 

You are never at the event horizon

Event horizon.. something that has always attracted me. I would not get into the technicals of an event horizon but for all practical purposes,  take it as the point of no return.

Many have not taken that great stride in their life just because their fears that it might lead into a point of no return. Many careers missed,  passions left, relationships compromised,  atrocities put up with - because it was thought as the point of no return.

I believe there are no event horizons in life. Every moment I have a choice to Return . To return to the world where I would be lot happier.  Whether my circumstances decide my destiny or my destiny decides my circumstances, I am never at a point of no return.  My free will shall always choose a path so.

Man Vs Woman or Man & Woman

Man Vs Women or Man & Women

How does this sound to you ?

1. ' Man Vs Woman' 2. 'Man & Woman' . The simplest solution to all you have discussed is here- whether your lead your life as "man vs woman" or "man & woman" . Man vs woman- its always a competition as to who is bigger - in terms of anything - money, love, ego, respect .This is a parasitic life - an unhealthy competition - the root cause of all problems . But Man & Woman always means a peaceful co-existence. Each one trying to lift the other higher in all aspects.. Its a symbiotic relationship. There are three realities here:

1. Both at "man & woman" level of relationship - Life is beautiiful & they live happily ever after
2. One lives M&W and the other M vs W - Go on upto your tolerance levels - If one is unable to change the other, then QUIT.
3. Both M vs W - The best is to understand this initially and just Quit the relationship - its just not going to work out. And even if you dont quit initially - any time is the best time to QUIT in such relationships.
Life poses difficult situations - but its actually simple. Because, your objective in life is not to crib about difficulties but do the best in a given situation to make your "self" happy.
Even spiritually looking at things - Man & Women are equal "power stations" - the best that can happen is a synergy when they live as "Man & woman". But, with "Man Vs Woman" - I dont have to tell you - Its called "annihilation".

Working on limitations

If a relationship cannot give that secure feeling that my next step would not be on a landmine.. its a fake relationship. There is no honesty in it.. no truth.. Its like we are cheating ourselves in the name of that "relationship" . The most successful relationships are those where each one works around the limitations of the other. Not the ASSUMED limitations.. I'm talking about the REAL limitations. This might look a little negative .. but this is a more realistic approach. We strengthen ourselves by what each other know.
